This office has recently completed an audit of Steelworkers Local 50 under the
Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with
the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting a Disclosure Act of 1959
(LMRDA). As discussed during the exit interview with you on December 11,2007, the
following problems were disclosed during the CAP. The matters listed below are not
an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in
scope.

Reporting Violations

The audit disclosed a violation of LMRDA Section 201(a), which requires that a
union submit a copy of its revised constitution and bylaws with its LM report
when it makes changes to its constitution or bylaws. Local 50 amended its bylaws
in 2004, but did not file a copy with its LM report for that year. Local 50 has now
filed a copy of its bylaws.

Other Issues

As I discussed during the exit interview, the audit revealed that Local 50 does not
have a clear policy regarding meal allowances personnel may claim while not on
travel status. OLMS recommends that Local 50 adopt written guidelines
concerning such matters.

I want to extend my personal appreciation to Steelworkers Local 50 for the cooperation
and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you
make sure this letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are
passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not
hesitate to call.
